And just before the sales assistant puts the purchase through, she says, “Would you like to make a donation to fight HIV/AIDS across the world?”

She’s caught me completely off guard.

I’d really love to make a contribution but I’ve already exceeded my budget after picking up a few other items that weren’t on my shopping list today.

What do I do?

That’s completely besides the point.

But here’s what you can do.

ALDO, in partnership with YouthAIDS, is continuing its fight against AIDS by offering Love for Life bracelets.

In conjunction with World AIDS Day, December 1st, these limited edition ALDO Fights AIDS items are available at all ALDO, ALDO Accessories and ALDO Outlet stores, as well as online at http://www.aldoshoes.com.

ALDO will donate 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of the bracelets to YouthAIDS.
